ETERNAL LIFE

DANIEL 12:2 (CEV)
Many of those who lie dead in the ground will rise from death. Some of them will be given eternal life, and others will receive nothing but eternal shame and disgrace.

ROMANS 6:23 (CEV)
Sin pays off with death. But God’s gift is eternal life given by Jesus Christ our Lord.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God’s gift of eternal life is given through Jesus Christ our Lord.

PRAYER
Thank you, forgiving Lord, that you give the free gift of eternal life even when I am asleep in the dirt of shameful failures. I am stuck in the mud and spiritually dead; gather me up, dust me off, and wash away my sin. I thank you for your life-giving-forgiveness. Help me forgive as I have been forgiven. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
